THIRTEEN people in Indonesia suspected of having bird flu have tested negative for the feared disease, the country's health ministry said on Saturday.

Experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO) arrived Friday in the affected village in North Sumatra to help investigate a possible outbreak after three people died and the 13 were admitted to hospital.

'All specimens collected from suspect cases have given negative results'. 'They are all recovered', I Nyoman Kandun, director general of the ministry's communicable diseases department said on a text message.

Officials and residents in Asahan district in North Sumatra province said villagers began showing symptoms of avian flu after a large number of chickens died suddenly last week in Air Batu village.

The local husbandry office took preventive action this week by slaughtering and burning some 400 chickens and ducks.

The ministry, which has stopped giving regular bird flu updates, announced earlier this week that the human toll from avian influenza in Indonesia had risen to 112 following the recent death of a 19-year-old man.

The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has killed more than 240 people worldwide since late 2003.

The virus typically spreads from bird to human through direct contact, but experts fear it could mutate into a form easily transmissible between humans, with the potential to kill millions in a pandemic. -- AFP

Indonesian villagers cleared of bird flu

Sat Aug 9, 2008 4:37am EDT

JAKARTA, Aug 9 (Reuters) -

Thirteen people from a village in Indonesia's Sumatra island who were hospitalised this week after showing symptoms of bird flu have tested negative for the H5N1 virus, a health ministry official said on Saturday.

The 13, including a seven-year-old girl and an eight-month-old child, had developed fever after a large number of chickens died in Air Batu village in North Sumatra province.

"Test results were negative for all suspected cases," said Nyoman Kandun, the health ministry's director-general of communicable disease control.

Suspected cluster cases can raise concerns about rare human-to-human transmission or that the virus might have mutated into a form that can pass easily among people, triggering a pandemic.

Bird flu remains mainly an animal disease but experts fear the H5N1 virus might mutate into a pandemic strain that could sweep the globe, possibly killing millions and hobbling economies.

At least 243 of the 385 people known to be infected with bird flu have died since late 2003, according to the World Health Organization's June 19 tally.

Indonesia reported last Sunday that a 19-year-old man died from bird flu, bringing the total death toll in the Southeast Asian country to 111, the highest of any nation.
